Default Goodbye to Tommy Brown

Former Dodger Tommy Brown died today at the age of 97.

From his SABR bio :
Tommy was only seventeen years old when he hit that first home run. Five days later, he connected for another circuit blast off Adrian Zabala of the New York Giants. As a result, he is both the youngest and second youngest player ever to homer in a Major League game.

The scored Dodgers program is for his second career homer on Aug 25, 1945

The scored Cards scorecard is the last game from his career that I have where he is mentioned (shown on the roster as #12). He didn't play in this game on Sept 20, 1953, but he only made three more appearance in his career on Sept 21-22-25.
